Road Rats su novi bend iz Zagreba, power trio u kojem svira File, gitarist Krive Istine, samo ovdje osim gitare je preuzeo i vokalne dužnosti. Pjevanje je dobro, glas je taman dovoljno nešto između harsh promuklog i prati melodije odlično. Na ovom izdanju se nalazi ukupno 5 stvari. Muzika koju Road Rats praše je nešto između prljavog rocka, garage punka i ponešto speed rocka, no nije još jedan od Motorhead klonova, ako ste se preplašili toga. Stvari su energične, tjeraju šaku da pumpa zrakom, žestoke, a dovoljno catchy da nađu mjesto u uhu i srcu nas ljubitelja melodije. Tekstovi su na engleskom, a pozdravljam i korištenje sampleova u meni najboljoj stvari na ovom izdanju, a to je San Venganza čija sredina me podsjeća na dobar stari prljavi spaghetti western. Od ostalih pjesama koje ovdje moram napomenuti kao highlighte su Runaway i Full Speed Ahead. Ovo je zakon izdanje i moram negdje uhvatiti ovaj bend uživo, ziher sam da opako zvuče live.
Hey Disarray are coming from Orange County, California and this is their first EP containing 6 songs. First think I thought while listening to vocals on first song ‘Dance With Me’ was that vocals reminded me a lot of Croatian band called Fraktura Mozga. Musically, they are also similar. Hey Disarray play melodic pop punk, uplifting melodies topped with nice vocals and some keyboard background in there thrown in for good measure, or am I imagining? This band is pop punk par excellence sounding just how excellent pop punk should sound like. Lyrics are great and I think that I can relate to lot of themes in there like love, loss of love, relationship, friendship, broken hearts, hope….One of my personal favorites on this record is the title song because it is straightforward pop punk song with beautiful chorus and melody, harmonies on backing vocals and superb lyrics. The musicianship on this record is tight and and production is great listening. Other songs that are stand out for me on this little EP are ‘Meet Me There’ and ‘Good At Letting Go’, but EP as a whole is worth your listening because this is superb songwriting.
